Car parts and drivetrain components for Dodge Stratus.
A damaged outer CV joint typically creates a clicking or popping noise when cornering, whereas a worn inner CV joint tends to cause noticeable vibrations through the car under acceleration or at specific speeds.
A very common cause is a cracked or heavily corroded ABS ring. This prevents the sensor from correctly reading the wheel speed, triggering the warning light on the dashboard.
On a Dodge Stratus, it is often possible to replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself remains in good condition, offering a far more cost-effective repair.
There can be variations in dimensions and spline counts between different engine variants. Always select your specific make, model and engine to ensure you get the exact drive shaft required for your car.
If the boot is torn, lubricating grease escapes and abrasive road dirt penetrates the joint. This accelerates wear rapidly and will eventually lead to complete joint failure, leaving the vehicle undriveable.
Yes, our complete drive shafts arrive fully assembled with both the inner and outer CV joints as well as durable boots, ready for direct installation.
